iSpy is an open source video surveillance application for Windows that connects to webcams and IP cameras, providing live viewing, motion detection, and recording. It has been superseded by Agent DVR, a cross-platform rebuild with a browser-based UI, AI object/face recognition, and remote access without port forwarding.
Use cases
- monitor my home security cameras from a computer
- record footage from IP cameras when motion is detected
- set up a low-cost NVR for a small business
- connect webcams and ONVIF cameras to one surveillance system
- get alerts when movement or sound is detected on camera
- watch my security cameras remotely without port forwarding
When to choose
- you want free, self-hosted surveillance software for consumer webcams or IP cameras
- you need broad camera compatibility including ONVIF and RTSP streams
- you want motion detection, scheduling, and alerting without expensive CCTV hardware
When to avoid
- you need actively developed features - iSpy itself is no longer developed; use Agent DVR instead
- you need a cross-platform or browser-based interface on macOS or Linux
- you require enterprise-grade CCTV support or guaranteed SLAs
